Making a comeback from Chapter 2 Season 7, the Rail Gun returns in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1, albeit with slightly reduced damage. Despite the nerfs, it remains a potent weapon that can significantly impact your chances of victory.
While not exceptionally rare, the Rail Gun isn't readily available from NPCs. This powerful weapon is acquired through the usual methods: finding it within chests or as floor loot. The abundance of loot locations in Chapter 6 Season 1, such as Magic Mosses' loot caves and Nightshift Forest's hidden vaults, increases your chances of discovery.

The Rail Gun's charge-up time is approximately 3 seconds, with an additional 3-second hold before automatic firing. Landing a shot can be challenging due to the inability to cancel the charge and the constant movement of opponents.
Despite its impressive structure and headshot damage, the Rail Gun's accuracy and slow firing rate make it less reliable than other options like a Hunting Rifle with Heavy Bullets. However, its unique gameplay makes it worth experimenting with.
